[naxxo.licious™]

Well....i've just finished watching the Autmatic PV. Better not seeing it again.

BTW, i accidentaly watched a subtitled version....if you won't get offended by it i could post the link. It's nothing dirty, but it could look mean to some people

It was sad the first time. But the second time it was so weird looking that I laughed too.

I didn't see this posted, so I'll try.
BEGINNING OF KEEP TRYIN' = beginning of Passion!
Of course I'm talking about PVs.

[Luv ~Venus~]

O_O'
Sora didn't tell me that! T_T

Ciminal, do you have a screencap of it? I wanna see! I wanna see!

[bluegie]

No one in UH forum mentioned about the beginning of Keep Tryin' resembles the beginning of Passion, and I dun really think they are similar in sense anywayz. However Keep Tryin' is a pv with lots of older hikki+Kaz pv contents inside..

1) The background of the TV shop = the background of FINAL DISTANCE when two hikki met (separated by glass).

2) There was a kid touching the window of the TV shop, and actually you see he's actually touching a "white statue", separated by the window, so this again resembles FINAL DISTANCE part

3) the running part in the cafe (when she was gonna get the laptop and chased the customer) = traveling

4) walking in the company with lots of guys typing = Passion

5) biking while those weirdo passed by = traveling

6) the white turning thing on the ceiling (the kid sleeping scene) = Dareka

7) The scene where hikki was standing before the train passed by = the moment when hikki stood before the car hit her in Be My Last

8) the dresses in the clothing store = SAKURA DOROPPUSU

That's all I can remember.. can't remember the rest..

Sora never told me annny of this....

I'm going to go look at the PV again because I can't remember any of the stuff of that PV nor see it. I must look at the other PVs that were used in the KT PV as well.


@Mirah: You're mean for laughing at Hikki getting hit!

wow, i did not know most of these

1. there's a background??...
2. knew
3. was reminded of it but never really payed much attention
4. this one i never was really thinking of passion =\
5. knew
6. actually, now that you mention it, it sorta looks like it
7. also the train itself is traveling sorta (the bunny train XD)
8. someone should buy the dresses XD



also, seeing that kazu directed the (ever-so-horrible) hikari pv:
i'd say when she was brushing her teeth XD;


and in DEEP RIVER, i remember a kid with his (or her?) head on hikki's lap. or maybe it's a reference to hikki herself, when she's laying down in the hut?

[ayumisrael]

Oh so Keep Tryin' has no reference to any of the First Love or Distance songs? =\

[bluegie]

No, cuz Kaz didn't direct those pvs. Keep Tryin' only refers to the ones Kaz directed.
- FINAL DISTANCE
- traveling
- Hikari (dunno if there's any scene... but I doubt it.. I dun see Hikki washing dishes or drinking water in Keep Tryin'... LOL)
- SAKURA DOROPPUSU
- Deep River (someone said the girl in the sleeping scene was in this pv as well, but I'm not sure about it)
- Dareka
- Be My Last
- Passion

And I think Keep Tryin' pv has been discussed when it was out, I guess both of you weren't into hikki back then .

[ayumisrael]

I think I didn't see any Keep Tryin' discussion, I always knew that the song was about hikki wish she could make some stuff from her work better.
Never knew those things about the PV though!

I'm a fan of hikki since the beginning of 2005 ^_^"

wow, that's great. I've been a fan since... 2003 Ever since I played KH. But I became really interested in her works in 2004 when I was exposed to her japanese albums.

[bluegie]

wow.. that means you have been a fan the year she released Be My Last .

It was really fun to watch Keep Tryin' pv cuz it reflected what hikki did for the past 2 or 3 years on her pvs. It is also the last pv project with Kaz ...

[bluegie]

how many of you starting loving hikki since... 1999 then? (I raised my hand LOL).
I guess it would be shocking to meet someone who has been hikki fan since Dec 1998 in AHS..

[xiaou-xijiang]

^I had no internet then. before 2000 was the dark ages for me.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^

I know right! I didn't even know what the internet was until what...2001 or 2002. I didn't get into Hikki until 2003/2004 which was the KH/Exodus era.

xiaou-I posted in the KH thread...I need a question be answered...I posted it over in the KH thread. Could you please answer it? Terrik isn't much help! T_T

[xiaou-xijiang]

^I'll be over in two shakes.

I remember buying Exodus from Amazon so cheap. It was great.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^

Thankies!

I shop at amazon! That place is great...especially if you want to Hikki albums for cheep, even her recent singles are cheap. I just her new album will be cheap on there when it comes out. I'm really tryin' to keep myself from spending 30 dollars + tax on her new album. I just wish UU06 was up for sale on there. I cannot find it anywhere on Amazon!!!

[xiaou-xijiang]

^nooooooo!
stay away from Amazon for imports. They'll suck you dry. (60$ for a CD + shipping/tax = wtf?)
Get her albums OS on Yesasia for like 17.99. singles you can get for 9.00.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^*rub cheeks*

i know....I saw Hikki's best album sale for a whooping 70 bucks! I was pissed because that was the only price I saw it for....thh used price was 50 bucks. I hurried and clicked out of it. T_T Yesasia? I read that place suck you dry too. I've been there for and I find that they charge a bundle for some of Hikki's stuff...of course that was way early 2007...so I haven't been there for a moment. I go there...to yesasia to see if I can find some reasonable prices for Hikki's stuff.

Hey, what about CDJapan and HMV?
